Antibiotics are the your best bet and the first line of treatment for UTIs. However, the type of medicine, dosage and duration for which it is to be taken depends upon your health and the type of bacteria found in your urine during the diagnosis.
Some commonly used antibiotics for uncomplicated UTIs are:
- Cephalexin
- Ceftriaxone
- Fosfomycin
UTIs generally clear up within a few days of starting the treatment, but you must take continuous antibiotics for the entire prescribed term. In case of a complicated UTI or kidney infection, your doctor might provide fluoroquinolone medicine if there are no other treatment options. With appropriate antibiotic treatment, even severe UTIs start to reduce within some days. Home remedies for cases with mild UTIs may also help you reduce symptoms and prevent infections.
